ROS on raspberry pi There is a compiled image for RPi by ubiquity that has ROS kinetic: https://downloads.ubiquityrobotics.com/pi.html. It seems for me too old. It’s 2020, there are ubuntu 18, ros melodic and ros2, next year the support of python2.7 will be discontinued. Meh… It is possible to have ROS melodic on Raspberry Pi 3 B+. See in the next sections.

Here are some recipies to make ubuntu installed on USB drive to work faster. [1] [2] reducing swapping Add these lines to /etc/sysctl.conf, and reboot. vm.swappiness = 0 vm.dirty_background_ratio = 20 vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 0 vm.dirty_ratio = 80 vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 0 More caching while writting on disk Add noatime,commit=120,… to /etc/fstab entries for / and /home
Some settings I find useful for a workstation CPU monitoring on the main panel Default Ubuntu desktop seems to become finally convenient enough for me starting from Ubuntu 18.04. Only several tweaks are missing. Constantly available CPU/Mem/HDD/Network monitor is one of them. Here is how to install a small widget for a top panel in the default GNOME desktop environment. sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gtop-2.0 gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 gir1.2-clutter-1.0 Go to Ubuntu Software and then search for system monitor extension....
